According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jesse Watters' net worth is $5 million. According to the outlet, however, the Fox News host earns a salary of $2 million a year. Watters's net worth compared to his salary isn't great, but that may be because he took a financial hit in his divorce.
Watters and his now ex-wife, Noelle Inguagiato Watters, met in 2002 while they both worked at Fox News. He worked on "The O'Reilly Factor," and she worked in the advertising department, per The Daily Mail. After the first Mrs. Watters gave birth to the couple's twin daughters in 2011, the British outlet reported that she never returned from maternity leave. RadarOnline reported that the terms of Watters's divorce are confidential; the couple settled before the divorce case was supposed to go to trial. Since Watters was unfaithful, and the couple's twin daughters were only six when "The Five" host split, it's safe to assume the host had to pay big bucks to settle the divorce, impacting his net worth.
Watters likely settled the divorce to keep the details of his affair private for PR reasons. The co-host of "The Five" faced huge backlash in 2017 after making an inappropriate comment about Ivanka Trump. According to Fortune, Watters commented on how Trump spoke into a microphone, and his comment was "widely interpreted as sexual innuendo."
